Duplicate contacts when created from another application like Mail

When adding a contact to Address Book from another application (from an email signature for example) two of the same contact are always created. This does not happen when creating a contact from within Address Book. Anyone have this problem and correct it?

known bug, please send feedback to apple about your situation. http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
Address book has a feature "look for duplicates" under Card in the menu bar. This will merge duplicate entries into on. But now I have some weird double names (but they're one contact/one card).

Canother when them from another application eg imovie? 150 files but only 30 show.

Aperture 3 help please. Can anyone tell me why I lose photos from files when trying to access them from another application eg imovie? file may have 80 photos but only 20 might be seen in application.

Can anyone tell me why I lose photos from files
Do you mean from folders, albums, or projects?
How do you access your Aperure images from other applications? Do you show Aperture in the Media Brower?
Then you need to ensure that Aperture renders previews for all images you want to access externally. Check your settings in the Aperture Preferences -> Previews and enable "Share Previews ..." and "New Projects automatically generate Previews". If reviews are missing for older imports select the images, ctrl click and "Update Preview".

Printer doesnt appear in the print options window when printing from an application like word etc

Ok this topic is all over the help forums but I have a couple of different observations not previously covered and all remedies that have been posted and worked for most havent worked for me
First of all the Printer used to work with USB or NET connection and then suddenly unexpectedly stopped working. I cant say with 100% conviction whether this was when the upgrade to windows 7 occured or not
things I have tried:-
I have used the hp install wizard
I have a downloaded the windows 7 update.
I can ping the device
I can print a test page.
The icon appears in the device and printer window but with an exclamation mark.
I have tried NET STOP SPOOLER / NET START SPOOLER.
I can scan docuemnts OK
here is the part that I believe appears to be different from the other case on the forum.
If I open a word document and select print the printer preferences dialogue window opens but no printer is visible to select. When I select add printer it shows my network then double clicking this opens a window showing a printer icon but its a previous version?? so when I select it as a printer to add nothing happens and it still doesnt appear as a selectable printer in the printer preferences pop up window. So doesnt print any thing
Im lost for any other ideas to try

I had already tried this and it didnt work on your advice I repeated the process with same results it appears in devices list but with an exclamation mark but trouble shooter fails to find any problem
I refer you to the things tried and status in my first post i.e. I can ping the IP, I can scan. So my thoughts are now it must be something on my PC side that is the issue and not the printer or printer software.
Could it be a security level issue that's the reason why manual selection of add printer comes back access denied ??. Possibly I need admin login. However I am the admin and single user of my PC anyway so I should have access.
or some other PC setting why it doesnt see the printer in the printer settings when printing from an application ?

How to call Oracle form .from another application like VB 6.0

Dear ALL,
I want to call oracle(Developer) form ,from another application (VB 6.0).I want to call the form in such
a way that user dont need to enter login and password.I will hard code the username and password
in my VB 6.0 application.User only press a button on Visual Basic 6.0 form and and that button will
open required Orcale form.How can I DO this.PLEASE HELP............
Regards

You have the command in VB 6.0 to run any exe files right (I think it is the system command). Next to that command place the following code to run your forms application
ifrun60.EXE <forms.fmx with complete path> userid=<username>/<password>@<connection string>.

Paste is only pasting a text field instead of an image copied to the clipboard from another program like mail or safari?

The latest version of Keynote only pastes a blank text field after copying an image to the clipboard in other applications like mail or Safari. The previous version worked fine with copying and pasting images. Saving the image to a file and then inserting the image file is the only work-a-round I have found so far.

To place an image on a slide, use Finder to drag and drop the file onto the slide.

Can I get the Write window in the foreground when called from another application?

When windows applications create a new message through thunderbird (quickbooks wants to send an invoice for example) the new message appears in the background and bothers the user who prefered the way outlook would pop up newly created messages in the foreground. The foreground popup is the preferred work flow as the operator clicks 'send invoice' and then the message pops up for review and for the operator to hit send. Now migrating to Thunderbird, in frustration the user is creating many drafts but not always sending the invoice.
How can I set Thunderbird to popup a new message window in the foreground in this case?
Thanks in advance.

Hi, I have the same problem, any version of TB, win7x64 or winXP32... for me is not a problem, but less experienced users, or old people, get puzzled by not seeing the expected window, and usually keep trying, ending with multiple "compose" windows, until they realize they're open in the background...
I'm trying to get around this using a small free utility I already have in my windows startup folder: Deskpins (see http://www.snapfiles.com/get/deskpins.html). This little app, which sits in the taskbar icon area, can force any window stay on top, (visually) "pinning" it also. Very handy. This little gem also has an optional "autopin" feature, which can "intercept" a new window by class & title (with wildcards). Which windows to intercept,y ou define creating specific rules, from its help:
<<
You can configure DeskPins to automatically pin certain windows as soon as they are created. This should be useful in case you always want to make an application topmost (e.g. Calculator, console windows, etc).
Rules
You can specify which windows will be auto-pinned by adding auto-pin rules (see Autopin options). Every time a window is created, DeskPins will check whether it satisfies any rules, and if so, it will pin it. A rule consists of two parameters: a title and a class, which are explained below. Both parameters can contain DOS-style wildcards (* and ?) and they are not case sensitive.
>>
I tried, and it seems to work.
when a new "compose" window is created, even when "sending a file to recipient" using windows standard tools (eg: right click on file and send>mail recipient) now I see the window "on top" and is "pinned"... of course it would have been much, much better to have a native better behaviour, but in the meanwhile... this could work. Maybe similar solutions are available for other OSes...

How do I return Labview errors from a LV executable when calling from another application?

I'm calling a third party executable under WindowsXP. The program returns an exit code when complete. I tried Sys Exec VI, but the 'return code' field does not seem to grab the exit code. Help.

Although I am not fully verse in this subject, I have to disagree because of previous experiences I had.
You can write executables that return "exit codes". For example, in C++ you can use the function exit(). The syntax of the function is:
#include
void exit(int status);
"status" is provided for the calling process as the exit status of the process. Typically a value of 0 is used to indicate a normal exit, and a nonzero value indicates some error.
In the past I've seen commercial applications that allows you add your own functions. Sometimes what the application expect is an exit code after your custom .exe executes.
Unfortunatelly, I've been unable to do this with LabVIEW, therefore I must use another development environment
such as MS VC++ or Borland C++ Builder to accomplish this. I wish I could do that with LabVIEW though...

InDesign crashes when pasting from another application

I encounter a persistent error. It initially started when pasting text from MS Word 2010. I tried various options - with and without formatting etc - the result is the same, ID crashed.
I even tried to paste into Notepad first, but the problem persists even when pasting plain text.
Any advise is appreciated.

Crashing when pasting plain text from notepad lets Word off the hook, I think, and means we need to look for a differnt problem on the system.
Let's start by finding out the version of ID you are using (including the patch level) and the operating system. Do you have a font manager installed? how about any third party plugins for ID?
Does this happen if you try to paste text into a new document? How about if you create a new user account and use that?

Microsoft Word and Excel Hang When Pasting From Apple Applications

I have had a problem ever since upgrading to Snow Leopard. Word and Excel hang when pasting from Apple applications like Safari and Pages. Pasting to OpenOffice does not show the problem. Pasting from Firefox does not show the problem. I have resolved font duplicates, got rid of input managers, reinstalled Office removing plist files and normal templates but the problem persists. Microsoft is saying it is not their software after looking at the crash dump created from force quit. Besides, sticking to open source software , I am at a loss for what to try next besides reinstalling Mac OS X 10.6 (I am on 10.6.2 now). Any help appreciated. I have crash dumps and snapshots of the hung process if anyone can read them. Word is using close to 100% of the CPU when hung.

Microsoft is saying it is not their software after looking at the crash dump created from force quit.
If their software is freezing up, it's certainly nobody else's fault. If those Apple apps are for some reason creating bad clipboard data, Microsoft's apps should be able to gracefully recover and report the problem. Error handling is probably one of the most important, and most difficult, aspects of programming, but you can't blame poor error handling on anyone but the developer. I suspect that, rather than bad clipboard data, it's more likely to be a case of Microsoft's apps simply not understanding something about perfectly valid clipboard data, because they haven't properly followed Apple developer guidelines.
Of course, that's not a solution. I can't really provide you a solution, other than to ask what version of Office you're using. If you're using too old a version of Word, you should update. You should also let us know what kinds of stuff you're copying. More info always helps to get better answers.

No color toolbar icons from standard launch, ok when launched from another app.

When launched from another app like google earth the toolbar icons are in color.
When launched normally the icons have no colors.
Currently Thunderbird 24.6.0

another experiment.
When you have the colour icons, Select Help menu > about (what version is this) when you have the black do the same and see if it is different versions. (pressing F10 will make them menu bar visible if it is not.)
Thunderbirds icons changes from living colour to black and white quite a few versions ago.
Reasons for color are;
* An old version
* An add-on by way of a Theme
* The running of Thunderbird in XP compatibility mode in Windows

Safari problem: when I switch back into safari from another application, the menu bar comes up but no tabs or windows. What's going on? Just started yesterday. I have found a workaround: when I Command Tab back to safari, I hit command T to open a new tab and Command W to close it, and my other tabs are visible.
I have tried shutting down, closing tabs, with no success. What's going on and how can I fix it?
Thanks,

PS: I'm not sure of the actual OS level, but I have not allowed it to upgrade to Maverick yet; concerned about it because of a few things I've read...

A Safari extension or third party plugin may be causing the menu bar issue.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test. If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect: Allow plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.
As for which OS X is installed.
Click the Apple () menu top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac.
The version is noted there.
v10.6 Snow Leopard v10.7 Lion v10.8 Mountain Lion
It's your choice whether or not to upgrade to Mavericks. If you decide to do this, make sure your Mac meets the requirements noted here.

When I click on an active link from another application, it opens the firefox application, but won't open open the page - it just opens Firefox or takes me to Firefox. No new tab or window is opened and the link is not displayed.

When I click on an active link from another application, it opens the firefox application, but won't open open the page - it just opens Firefox or takes me to Firefox. No new tab or window is opened and the link is not displayed.

Firefox sent an email to me to confirm that I had asked the above question. The email had a link to click. When I clicked it from Firefox, nothing happened. Then I opened IE, signed into Comcast, opened the email, clicked the link, and it brought me here.
